[HoustonHam] Announcement from the NEW Triangle Repeater Association

[McClure, Rob K]

Hi Chris,

I'm sure you don't want to give out the EXACT location, but can you ball
park your repeater location to within a mile or two so hams like me can
judge the performance of their antennas?  I like to build a lot of my
own antennas and knowing where your repeater would be would be a great
help.

What is the HAAT on your new repeater and what kind of power will you be
running?

73, Rob, KC5RET

Subject: [HoustonHam] Announcement from the NEW Triangle Repeater
Association

As of today, I learned that yesterday, September 5, 2008, the FCC
granted
the vanity application of the Triangle Repeater Association,
Incorporated
(formerly WA5YUS/WR5AEX), resurrected earlier this year as KE5UMY. 

 

IT NOW PROUDLY holds the call formerly and originally held by Arthur P.
Kay
Jr. (SK)..W5APX! Thanks to his stepson, Lee W5TEH, for giving his
permission
to make this become a reality!

 

Look for this call sign coming to a repeater frequency and possibly a
real
Field Day site near you soon (So far 10 people have shown interest in a
REAL
Field Day operation.LETS DO IT!!...I think we may be able to get some
commercial sponsorship for this J)

 

Chris
WB5ITT
Trustee, Triangle Repeater Association, W5APX

The NEW W5APX 146.34/94 repeater..with satellite receivers and a LDG
voter
(1st voter on an amateur repeater in this area!) to provide HT coverage
throughout the entire area.(PL 103.5)..sorry Kay but it won't be 100%
Motorola.but it will be the premier 2meter repeater in SE TX.with links
to
HF/VHF/UHF all mode remote base (shared with WB5ITT 220 rptr) for
emergency
operations. Block diagram to come soon! Gear is on hand and being
connected.
